Conversion is 50% in USD equivalent

in conversion •  7 years ago 

I just did a transfer from Coinbase using ETH to send my Steem account via BlockTrades and the conversion to equivalent Steem in USD isn't even close... I must be doing something wrong or this is highway robbery?
How does $139USD in ETH become $63USD in Steem?

Testing this out. Any feedback is welcome, including pointing out the obvious.

thank you - but I still don't understand ...
$1 = $1, even if I bought $100 of anything, it would still be worth $100 in my wallet.
That's what I'm talking about... I would just have less Steem
